HARDWARE & SECURITY
The cylinder has been designed to resist various forms of attack . A strengthening bar reinforces the cylinder ’ s core for added protection against snapping .
Kinetica + K4 has also been designed to overcome the risk of bumping . UAP has designed the cylinder with the patented Fullex anti-bump system , which does not use trap pins but has nickel-plated , hardened steel anti-bump pins to interrupt the timing of the locking pins when the cylinder is bumped .
The cylinder has been designed to prevent access by drilling too , with hardened steel anti-drill pins located either side of the key / key cylinder , providing extra protection against lock manipulation , and on the exterior side of the key / thumbturn cylinder . Anti-pick pins on each side of the cylinder also make it extremely difficult to gain access by picking the cylinder .
Easy to Install , Easier to Use
At UAP Ltd , our product development is driven by the expertise of our inhouse team , our knowledge of the latest techniques being used to break in to homes by both locksmiths and criminals , and by the needs of installers and specifiers . We know that what ’ s important to installers and specifiers is a cylinder that looks good , performs well throughout its service life and is easy to install , that ’ s why we ’ ve designed Kinetica + K4 to offer both ease of installation and enhanced security .
The industry-leading security features we have combined in a single 3 * cylinder product have allowed the lock to be designed with no ring on the cam . This makes installation faster and easier , without compromising on the level of protection provided . A single sacrificial cut-line on the outside of the cylinder ensures a more robust and durable lock with improved protection from moisture and dust ingress , while aiding ease of installation .
With extreme reliability and ultrastrong turning forces built in by design , the Kinetica + K4 has been tested to 100,000 cycles and proven to deliver the same level of security and smooth operation throughout this rigorous testing , demonstrating excellent performance throughout the equivalent of at least 25 years ’ use .
Supplied in plastic-free packaging in a choice of polished brass , polished chrome or satin nickel , the Kinetica + K4 is available with a choice of key or thumbturn internal locking . The thumbturn variant has been designed with the Fullex , patent pending , Helix TT ; a highly durable thumbturn that is extremely easy and smooth to use , with no need to push before turning . This not only makes it more convenient for a wider array of end users , but also safeguards against the thumbturn being left in any position other than the correct , vertical alignment .
More Secure and Safer Too
Alongside the innovative approach to combining security features in a single 3 * cylinder to deliver improved security , ease of installation and smooth operation , the UAP team has also considered how safety and hygiene can be incorporated into the Kinetica + K4 too . The global pandemic has highlighted how quickly and easy germs and viruses can be transferred by contact and we have utilised biocidal technology to protect end-users from infection and bacteria .
Issued as standard with all Kinetica + K4 cylinders , our new Bio keys combine a conventional metal blade with a chunky , coloured ABS thermoplastic polymer bow , which has been treated using Biomaster ; a biocidal additive that impregnates the grip . This technology uses a proven silver compound biocide that has effective antibacterial and antiviral properties . UAP ’ s Bio keys have been tested to ISO 22196:2011 and shown to reduce Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli . They have also been tested to ISO 21702:2019 and shown to reduce SARS-CoV-2 .
As the Biomaster is an ingredient of the plastic , rather than a coating , it will never wear out or wear off , providing a permanent and effective hygiene measure for those using Kinetica + K4 cylinders to access their homes .
Each Kinetica + K4 cylinder will be supplied with three Bio + keys and the lock has been designed as a one key solution for easy keying alike , ensuring spare key availability and affordability .
Infamy Awaits A game changer for the home security market , Kinetica + K4 from Fullex , powered by UAP , is a best in class solution that responds to known vulnerabilities while anticipating potential criminal techniques and offering ease of installation and excellent performance for the end user . At every turn , the intruder is thwarted , defeating his objective of gaining access as quickly and furtively as possible and making him think twice about which properties to attack . Our goal is that Kinetica + K4 will become notorious within the criminal community as the cylinder that should make you think twice about even attempting to break in .
To support the launch of the ground breaking new cylinder , UAP has developed an advertising campaign and a series of videos , which , alongside our presence at MLA Expo , will introduce the trade to the innovative range of features and benefits combined together for the first time in Kinetica + K4 .
